Winds and wind systems on the Earth. 1  Wind is formed by the flow of air in horizontal directions. In meteorological definitions the coming direction of the wind is called wind direction. 2  1 m/s = 3.60 km/hr = 2.24 mph = 1.94 knot.
The production of proteins involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression. The process of transcription only involves two molecules: DNA and RNA. A DNA strand provides a template for the synthesis of a complementary RNA strand. This process is used to synthesize any type of RNA from a DNA template. Transcription of a gene produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
In prokaryotes, translation of an mRNA molecule often begins before its transcription is complete (see Fig. 2). This is possible because mRNA molecules are both synthesised and translated in the same 5â to 3â direction and because there is no nuclear membrane to separate the 2 processes.
